What should 2022 look like?

"In order to do something you've never done before, you need to become someone you've never been." -- Chris Hauth

My long term goal as a triathlete -- what I call my why -- is to live an active lifestyle and demonstrate that age is just a number. When I say demonstrate I do not imply an audience of fellow athletes. I include everyone I come in contact with.

My Why

My Why

In my last post I mentioned a book I have been reading by Addie Bracy, Mental Training for Ultrarunning. Chapter two, Find Your Why for Running, goes into great depth about what she means by “why” and includes a number of practical exercises to help the reader bring their thoughts into focus. I have yet to do the exercises, but I plan to. Meanwhile, I have already drafted my why:

Age is just a number.

My first attempt was a bit wordy:

I do triathlon to teach others that age is just a number.

Finding Your Why

Before I get into the subject of today’s post, I just want to share with you my concern. It’s a small thing. For years I have shared my thoughts in a blog on Blogspot, the original free blogging service now owned by Google. I have no issue with them. It is a terrific service. The thing is, I also have my website, hosted on GoDaddy. I use Drupal there, and the default layout has a front page announcement tool that functions well for a blog. I would like to encourage readers to explore my website, so I am going to try posting there and see how it goes.
